Or if you moved in together before getting married, who moved in with who and why?
I moved in with Mr. Bee after we got engaged because I moved to New York from Los Angeles. But it didn't really feel like it was "our place" until we finally moved to a new apartment together. What about you guys?
He will be moving in with me! :) He is relocating from Illinois to Michigan. The nice thing is that when I moved into this apartment, I was moving from my parents house so I didn't have anything but hand-me-downs. We both have bought things together over the past few years so that it's not just "mine". We recently bought a new bedroom set we picked out together, lamps, all kinds of fun things. So I think the transition will go a little more smoothly.
i moved in with him, but then we bought a house together. we're almost ready to move in to the new house, our home. then, finally, we will get to enjoy our wedding gifts. i can't wait!
I moved in w/ him 4 mos before the wedding. His house is smaller, but it is closer to work and worth more. Luckily, we were able to rent mine out with a 2 year contract! So, now we're putting that extra $ towards the wedding & my car loan...next, we'll try to get my student loans gone before babies! <crosses fingers that renter continues to work out>
We actually bought a house together in February of this year, moved in in May and then got engaged in November. Which was a little backwards I guess.
But before that, I moved in with him. His apartment was bigger. And in a better area. And closer to Boston...
We moved in to a new place together a little over 2 years ago. We were each living in a different neighborhood in Chicago (Uptown and Bucktown), and ended up in East Village/River West because we preferred that location.
My husband and I initally moved into together when he accepted a new job and we had to relocate to Chicago. So it has always been "our" place.
Before getting married, I moved in with him for a month or two until we found our own new apartment! (He'd had a roommate before so it was impractical and impossible to stay there)
I moved in with him because I had a tiny studio and he had a big two bedroom apartment :) It took awhile for it to feel like home, but it definitely does now!
I moved in with my husband because I just relocated from Georgia to California earlier the year. I was still kind of feeling it's not 'our place' but that got better when we picked out and decorated our first Christmas tree together this past holiday season. I guess as I decorate the place more, it'll slowly feel more like our home.
When Mr. Sushi were dating (pre-engagement), I lived in a 1 bedroom apartment by myself and Mr. Sushi was residing with his mother (he had just moved back home a few months before we started dating). About a year and a half into our relationship I moved in with him and his mom (yikes!) so I could save some $$. Six months later I bought a condo. Mr. Sushi went condo shopping with me, but at the time we wern't sure if he was going to move in with me or not. Welp, he did. So the mortgage is in my name, but we've both lived there together since day one.
My fiance moved in with me a year before we got engaged (but after 6 years of dating). I had the two bedroom condo and so it made the most sense. We still live there but are looking to buy a condo in the next year or so (hopefully by the time we get married in October!)
I moved in with my fiance because he owned his condo whereas I was still renting ... We had been dating for a little over a year at the time, which we both thought was a little soon, but it was either then - or we would have to wait another year because of me signing a lease.
About a year after I moved in we were talking and he said to me "Could you imagine if we waited until now to live together?!?! I'm so glad we didn't wait!" And then he proposed about a month after that!! I think we had one of those situations where we just "knew" ... we were also friends for 4 years before we started dating so we knew a lot about each other before we started to date.
I am not married yet (only 341 days...but whose counting?!) but my FH and I moved in the same week we got engaged! It worked perfectly...I graduated school (Michigan State!! woohoo) and got a job and his lease was up so timing worked with us!
I moved in with him for 2 months during the summer 3 years ago....now he's moving in with me when he gets out. Only b/c i've been paying our house mortgage in the meantime! I'll have been here for about 1.5 years, holding down the fort, by the time he gets out of the army
We are both moving together but I'm the one traveling the longest ;)
We're moving in to a new place (hopefully a house!) together -- we both live in our parents' houses now, though he might be living across the country for half a year before we get hitched, 'cause of his internship. But regardless, we're moving together.
hubby and i technically didnt live together until we got married but every weekend i was as his place and i always called it home
hubby already owed this house outright so it made sense to move in with him but im eyeing off one of the other houses to see if i can convince him for us to move into it together but i dont like my chances
I moved in with him until his lease was up, then we got a new place when we got engaged
I moved in with him officially, last September. I say officially because I was more or less living with him before, I just didn't have my stuff. I was one of those girls who said I would never live with a man I wasn't married to. But then I fell in love with a man that lived almost an hour away from me. So first I started spending 1 or 2 nights a week at his place and then 3 or 4 and then soon I was only going home to do laundry!
We haven't moved in together YET, but in 3 weeks we are moving up to VA for me to go to grad school, so he'll be moving up with me into the apartment that I rented! We are hoping to save up enough money over the next year so that we can purchase a house in a year...right after we get married!
Actually we both lived at our parents and my moms house had a appartement below. We sort of took over the place and started paying rent.
So technically we moved in to a place together... but not really since my mom is upstairs and its not detached from my old house ;)
We officially moved in together when we moved to a new city after almost a year of dating, but before that I was pretty much staying at his apartment all the time anyway, I just still was paying rent on mine. Since then we have moved around a few times and bought a house- we will have had the house 2 years when we are married.
We lack a "he," but NotFroofy moved in with me. When we "met" online, she lived in the UK, but had quit her job and was in the process of selling her house so she could retrain for a new career. I suggested that she take the training course here, so we could get to know each other better in real life, and figure out whether we had a longer-term future. If things hadn't worked out, she could just have gone back to the UK at the end of the six-month training course. However, that was over eight years ago, and she's still here.
Not married yet, but he's coming to stay with me for a couple of months, then a civil ceremony followed by me moving in with him for a couple of months; then our jobs will take us to a brand new State! Then comes the wedding...
We moved into a new apartment in the complex he was already living in. I moved 40 miles away to be with him, he just moved around the block!
We got our own place together when we moved in--although this was before the wedding.
We move into a new place together, but only after a little over a week of living in my cramped apartment. We both had apartments before, and he had a roomate, so his was out of the question, as I didn't want to live with the old roomate! Our leases weren't up yet and our new place wasn't quite ready, so we lived at my apartment. He had to go back to his old place every few days to pack and get new clothes, but it was on his way home from work, so it wasn't that bad. We are both glad to be living in a place that feels like "ours."
I moved into his house because it is WAY bigger than my house. At times it still doesn't really feel like "our" place, especially since he built the house when he was still married, but as we've painted over her walls and bought things together for the house it feels a lot more like mine too.
We got a place together because my apartment was a 1 bedroom and while it was a great place there was no way we were going to fit into that place together without killing one another. We needed a two bedroom so he can have his man cave and keep his mess in there :)
We moved in together right after I graduated college. We've lived in three different apartments in the last four years, but we've been in the same building for the last three. We're probably looking at two more years in the current apartment, then looking for a two bedroom.
Anyone who lives in Manhattan knows that buying is pretty much impossible without a ridiculous amount of money. If we can't afford to look at buying over the next 5-7 years, we'll probably be trekking to an outer borough. I'll never give into the suburbs though ;o)
we moved together to an entirely new city! it's nice because its "ours", not MY city or HIS city.
My husband bought his condo before we were married, so after the honeymoon, I moved in! Now we're looking to buy a single house together...yay!
I didnt really know which option to pick. We got a new apartment together and I moved in in March. My parents (mostly dad) did not want us living together before we were married so I had the apartment until June when my DH moved in 2 weeks before the wedding. He technically had his own place the whole time and all his stuff was there, but he stayed at our place almost every night.
I'm moving in to his house. We've actually changed it up a lot from a bachelor pad to looking like a cute little house. He wanted to make sure I felt like it was our home and even suggested buying a new place together if I didn't feel comfortable there. However, I love our place and he does a great job at always reminding me that it's "ours" and not "his".
I moved from Boston to Savannah so he could go to school. He had a place here, so I moved in with him after the wedding.
Its pretty funny when I think about it!
Each of us owns our own home <- weird sentence? Lol. I was spending the night so much and he always wanted me at his place, that I started accumulating my possesions in his condo. I also have a substantial list of necessities that I must have to be comfortable - like my own face wash, my makeup, my body lotions and face + eye creams, vitamins, my workout clothes for the morning, my deodorant, my toothbrush and toothpaste ... you get the point.
So I can clearly remember him at the very beginning standing in the bathroom and giving me a toothbrush and toothpaste and I just started to add my own things into my own little space. Clearly I needed to have my own area for what I loved and wore the most. So he gave me a drawer! LOL - I don't know why but I'll always remember the day he gave me my own drawer.
He has this massive closet and in it he picked a drawer for me ... eventually I moved up to taking over a closet that was used as a storage closet ... I had to clean it out and it was all junk ... guys *rolls eyes*. Than I started adding what I ate to the fridge and pantry, I got a key ... haha big DEAL, and than all of a sudden all of my stuff was at his place and not mine.
So yeah, that's how it happened! My place is currently on the market in this suckey economy. So we both live in his bachelor man-cave ... until the time is right to move into a "real" house ...
